What are your thoughts? Just finished Disc 6: Stitt and Roy Haynes! My toddler's fascination with Stitt has led to the growing realization that he is one of my favorites. This set is becoming indispensable. Now playing: Disc 4: it is pretty amazing that the session with Bill Perkins and Frank Strazzeri went unreleased for so long. Quote

jazzbo Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 Miles Davis "Nefertiti" Mobile Fidelity SACD I will never ever tire of this music. Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 I'm sure it's been done before (& would love any relevant recommendations), but it's cool to hear so many of Wayne's tunes in a big-band setting: Quote

Gheorghe Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 One of my favourite Hancock albums And IMHO one of the best contributions of Joe Henderson as a sideman. Johnny Coles is also great. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 This is (for me) a 5 Star recording. Fontana demonstrates why he is one of the all time great trombone player. Al Cohn is simply marvelous, and Richard Wyands plays damn good as he always does. Quote

Yeah - great Tubby Hayes session, in chaotic circumstances. RRK’s solo on the ballad feature (without mouthpiece) is astonishing and must have dropped some jaws in the studio. First heard it on the RRK Complete Mercury box. Quote
